Delta: We'll let you protect us, but you'll end up protecting our profession?

"Evacuation failed!"

Looking at the four large, blood-red characters on the screen, Gu Tian unconsciously tightened his grip on the mouse.

"You started with five AWM sets, while the standard for the Demon King's Guard is 27 helmets."

"Triple kill in the first game, seven kills this game, still 17 kills short, are you going to play the third game?"

The examiner, Xiao Qi, was trying hard to suppress his laughter when he heard it through the earphones.

"So I still can't do it..."

Gu Tian sighed, released the mouse, and leaned back in his gaming chair, his eyes filled with resentment.

He had lost count of how many assessments he had taken.

"What a pity for the streamer! If he hadn't been picked off by AW in the first game, he would still have had a chance in this assessment!"

"Yeah...it was such a pity in the first game, we just finished taking over a team and AW stole the win!"

"This round was a bit of a pity. He got 7 kills, but then got wiped out by a potato mine..."

"Yeah, if he hadn't gotten six kills this time, I feel like he could have cleared the map like a prodigy!"

"..."

Dozens of viewers in the live stream offered words of comfort to Gu Tian.

Gu Tian is a miserable college graduate who is unemployed immediately after graduation.

With the rise of the Delta region in recent years, livestreaming escort services have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Unable to find a job, he tried live streaming on Douyin (TikTok), gaining over 3,000 followers in six months, with dozens of people watching online on weekdays.

The live stream content is about the challenge of starting from scratch, making 10 billion in damages, and then spending all 10 billion to become a top-tier player.

It took him two full months to go from zero to 1 billion, but he spent all of 1 billion in less than 20 days.

These 1 billion Haval coins have indeed made Gu Tian much stronger, making him a completely different person from before.

However, his strength is limited; he has failed the Demon King's Guardian Test more than ten times.

This proves that esports still relies heavily on talent; no matter how much an ordinary person practices, they can never become a top-tier protector of the Demon King.

"Hey there, 10 billion guy, are you going to play the third round?" Examiner Xiao 7's voice rang out again.

This time, his tone was not only urging but also somewhat impatient.

Gu Tian and examiner Xiao Qi have never gotten along.

Once, Xiao Qi made an appointment with him for an assessment at 3 a.m., and Gu Tian waited in line until 3 a.m.

When it was time to take the test, Xiao Qi suddenly said he was sleepy and wanted to go to sleep, and would take the test again tomorrow...

Gu Tian, ​​who stayed up all night waiting for three hours only to be stood up, simply didn't tolerate him.

He immediately gave Xiao 7 a thorough dressing-down.

Afterwards, Gu Tian banned him from taking the exam for a week, and Xiao Qi was also fined, thus creating a grudge between the two.

I don't know if the customer service representative is new or what, but they gave Gu Tianfen to Xiao 7 again.

Xiao Qi has always looked down on Gu Tian, ​​who failed the exam three or four times.

Knowing that he would still fail the exam even if he spent 10 billion, they gave him the nickname "10 Billion Bro".

Gu Tian thought that Xiao Qi was a complete idiot...

I was clearly giving him money during the evaluation, but he acted like a big shot.

This lousy examiner has a little bit of power and thinks he's someone important.

"I've already paid the exam fee, why not take the exam?" Gu Tian replied calmly.

The Demon King escort assessment requires payment. It costs 30 yuan per assessment for a single person and 50 yuan per assessment for a double person.

Gu Tian wasn't so much concerned about the 30 yuan, but Xiao Qi's attitude really annoyed him.

He was determined to finish the third game, even if it meant fighting for his pride.

If I'm really lucky, I'll get 17 heads and pass the test.

He was determined to give this idiot a good dressing down, even if he couldn't get into their escort shop.

Even if I don't get 17 kills, I still have to show my skills and not disappoint the viewers and fans in the live stream.

"Pfft..." Little 7 scoffed, "You've squandered 10 billion, how are you going to take the exam without money? A glass cannon?"

Gu Tian ignored Xiao 7 and opened the warehouse to sell the last African Heart.

The more than ten million Haval coins he got from the sale were enough for him to launch two more fierce attacks.

【ding~】

The moment Gu Tian sold the Heart of Africa...

A crisp system notification suddenly rang in his ears.

[Host Gu Tian has been detected to possess a do-or-die determination; the Demon King's Protection System has been activated!]

[Demon King's Top Protection System: Completing escort missions and daily tasks will reward you with attribute bonuses. This system is dedicated to making your host the strongest escort!]

[New player quest released: Complete the Demon King's Guardian Assessment, reward: Max level Dragon Proficiency!]

[New player gift pack has arrived, would you like to open it?]

"Huh?! The system?"

"Open!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Gu Tian immediately opened the newbie gift pack.

[The new player gift pack has been opened, rewarding the host with maxed-out marksmanship!]

[The probability of encountering streamers and professional players increases by 1000%!]

Your marksmanship has improved from 78 to 100!

"panel!"

[Host: Gu Tian.]

[Status Panel: Gun Skill (Aiming, Recoil Control, Pre-aiming, Quick Shot): 100 (Max Level)]

[Reaction (instantaneous response, information processing): 75.]

[Movement Technique (Positioning and Movement): 77.]

[Awareness (positioning, prediction): 75]

[Game Understanding (Strategic Management, Tactical Decision-Making): 73]

[Operator Proficiency: Dragon 78%, Red Wolf 76%, Luna 77%, Shepherd 69%...]

"Max-level marksmanship? Interesting!"

Feeling clearly that he had become stronger, Gu Tian couldn't wait to open the gun modification and enter the shooting range.

He controlled the fully modified M7 rifle and unleashed a barrage of fire at the targets on the shooting range.

Muscle memory allows you to control the recoil of the M7 rifle to a single point.

It was as if tens of thousands of intense combat experiences had appeared out of thin air.

It's so easy to spray fire, move around, shoot, and control recoil – all headshots!

One frame, three seconds of aiming and you can take down four targets; switch to the AWM and no matter how you flick the shot, you'll get headshots... It's all muscle memory!

Gu Tian gasped. His current aiming ability could only be described as terrifying.

"Can you hurry up?! Don't waste time."

The examiner, Xiao 7, impatiently urged him again.

They were clearly very unhappy with Gu Tian's last-minute cramming for shooting practice.

"What, are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"

Gu Tian retorted while exiting the firing range and using the equipment from the previous round.

With one click, you can equip all five sets of gear, injections, a fully modified M7, and an AW.

Once you've equipped yourself, click "Start" to begin matchmaking.

hum~

The match was successful immediately after I clicked "start".

"Instant entry, a good omen!" Gu Tian was overjoyed.

Generally, the faster you enter a match, the lower the intensity of the game will be; the longer you stay in a match, the more likely you are to be placed in a "blacklist" game.

For those of them who are taking the escort exam, they naturally hope that the intensity of the matches is lower, so that it will be easier to pass.

Upon entering the game, Gu Tian immediately locked in Wei Long.

I used Luna and Red Wolf in the first two games, but I couldn't get any kills.

With maxed-out gun skills, he's going to use the Dragon in a truly aggressive, Western-style attack!

"Go, Aibo!!"

"Just do your best, and leave no regrets!"

"Just keep attacking! Enjoy the process!"

As Gu Tian started his third game, the fans in the live stream had already lost hope.

After all, the difference in kills isn't just one or two, but 17!

There are only five teams in a game, and even if you get a full 15 kills for each of the three teams in the same game, you'll only get 15 kills.

To get 17 heads, you need to ensure no one falls off the field, and you also need to raise pigs...

"Oh no, the location is terrible!"

After a brief loading period, Gu Tian entered the game and checked the map, discovering that his spawn point was in Prison 2.

This position gave him a bit of a headache.

For escorting ships, the second prison is the most difficult position on the entire map.

Normally, two teams will spawn in the prison area, and sometimes three teams will spawn.

If someone spawns in cell 3, then cell 2 is easily attacked from all sides once a shot is fired.

Unfortunately, Gu Tian desperately needs kills right now and must eliminate everyone before the other two teams start fighting.

Only one team can die on the field. Once two teams die, the remaining three teams will never be able to kill 17 people unless they are perfectly fed.

Just as Gu Tian was pondering how to break this deadlock in the second round...

A comment in the live stream caught his attention:

"Hey streamer! We've crashed into PPD and Haotian!!"

"Holy crap? Lucky Guy is here too!"

Gu Tian looked doubtful: "Haotian? Brother Jiaoxing? Really?!"

"Is the system starting to exert its power already?"
